Michael F. Geraghty, MBA, has corporate global business experience including the head of international purchasing for a Fortune 500 company. He has given more than 2000 presentations world wide.
Michael has a unique and impressive track record. In 1983 he came to America with no job, no business experience, and only $4,700 in his pocket. That was all he possessed.
Within eighteen months he bought his first home for $140,000. Within five years he bought and owned his first million dollars worth of real estate in one of the toughest real estate markets in America.
“Perhaps you have to be a foreigner to realize it fully, but America is a land of amazing opportunity,” he says in his soft Irish accent.
He has worked as a negotiator for a fortune 500 company and has negotiated deals and contracts in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
He worked his way up the corporate ladder, tripling his salary, and becoming a member of the elite key employee program, studying and learning from the master negotiators.
“Many people ask me how I became so successful so quickly in America,” he says.
“They are surprised when I tell them that I learned some of my most important negotiation lessons growing up in a small country town, on a football field, and in monasteries in Ireland here I lived and worked with marvelous mentors for fourteen years.
Michael was featured in a cover story for Purchasing Magazine, the #1 Magazine for professional buyers.
Negotiation is the “art of friendly persuasion.” It is “the ability to sell yourself and your ideas.”
Study after study reveals that negotiation is one of the top three skills in life and on the job. Great negotiators become key contributors to any company or organization.
